[PATCHv3 2/4] tree: add queue-depth attribute for nvme path object

Introduce a new sysfs attribute, queue_depth, under the NVMe path object.
This attribute is used by the queue-depth I/O policy introduced in kernel
v6.11, but the sysfs interface for this attribute was only added later in
kernel v6.15.
The queue_depth value is useful for observing which paths are selected
for I/O forwarding based on their current queue depths. To make this
information available to user space tools such as nvme-cli, the attribute
is now exported in libnvme.map.
As queue_depth value could change frequently, nvme_path_get_queue_depth()
is implemented to always fetch the latest queue_depth value, rather than
relying solely on a cached version. If fetching the latest value fails,
the function gracefully falls back to the cached value.
